3 years ago, I didn't own a single 'real' watch.
Now I'm the really happy owner of three Breitlings. I spend much more time these days thinking about various strap options (I've bought one calf deployant, one croco deployant & another 2 croco tang's in the last year alone!) & am constantly thinking about what might be next.

I only have one watch wearing wrist.

Is there something wrong with me? Should I seek help?

:D

Yes, sounds like you need help.

As far as I can see there is only 1 possible solution to help you out.....send all but 1 of your watches to me :roll:

You think you need help?
For 10 years I have been happy with just one Breitling.
I bought my second one in Dec 2011.
Then I found this forum and the rest is history, now I have eight.
Not sure if I should laugh or cry about this.

You are not alone, this is just the beginning. Be afraid..............very afraid.

I think you may have a fourth Breitling that you forgot about, look at your signature. :poke:

Yes your right you do need help ! There's a 12 step program for what you got but before you can join you need to admit there's a problem and then buy 9 more Breitlings. then the healing can begin. :lingsrock:

Watches are a great hobby to have. It's only April and I've purchased 5 brand new Breitlings in 2012... AND have since moved on and purchased multiple watches in better brands, so no you're not alone in your "addiction"! Breitlings are like a gateway drug, just wait until you start finding the better stuff! :P

Welcome to the asylum. Please leave your credit cards at the door.

Seriously, some people here go on wild, watch-crazy jags, others swear they will keep their two or three watches together and never buy or sell others. Some are slow and steady accumulators. Still others here go through a course of owning some watches, learning more about what's out there and figuring out over time what they want, getting there or close, and hoping against hope they stay in a contented place for a while. Others accumulate, sell them all, start over, rinse and reapeat. Where you are on this continuum is completely personal, but at least since you're relatively new to it, there's a chance things will calm down. As my wife sometimes tells me in resignation, at least watches are the things you acquire and dump so quickly.

I used to be a Rolex guy many years ago but sold all of them after I got hooked with Breitling. :D
